S8 Project
Fantastic write-up...!
I have had a low mileage S8 for 3 years now and like the car very much.
I have replaced the intake manifold complete...(£3000 in UK....£1000 from US...I think they are made there) Problem for me was loud ticking at 2000 revs, thought broken flaps but discovered only a slack linkage between the two banks.
Only other problem has been one of the front air structs.
I have a couple of questions if you don't mind....
Is your power steering pump noisy...that is does it whine a bit? Mine always whines but displays no other issue.
and the second question, do you get any creak from behind dash when going over a speed bump and outside temperature is very cold. This second question I have researched but every angle points to a suspension issue....which it isn't. Stranger is that if I start the car without driving it, just allowing it to reach temperature, it's silent....as it is in the summer. Just wondered if you have either of these issues too.
Regards
David
